Dual Core
Dual Core is proof positive that a game should not be judged by its price tag. A satisfyingly long story mode, which takes about five or six hours to complete, coupled with an incredibly addictive arcade mode and a fun - if a bit underwhelming - versus mode make this one a must-have for Wii U owners.

The game's story is intriguing and well-integrated with action, featuring a mix of RPG elements and puzzles, though some players find the frequent and slow-paced messages from Dr. Lauren Franke to be disruptive and lacking in substance. The addition of a companion robot enhances the narrative experience, providing commentary and engagement throughout the gameplay. Overall, the single-player storyline is praised for its length and depth, making it a compelling aspect of the game, despite some minor issues in the later levels.
“Not only can you immerse yourself in an intriguing story mode featuring many big maps full of enemies, hidden corners, traps, and even little riddles to solve.”
“A lot of action, a dash of RPG, and a sci-fi post-humanity story tie it all together in a neat package that is supported by a very responsive and attentive developer.”
“Good storyline attached to nearly continuous action, a bit of a puzzle here and there, and a variety of challenges.”
“The interruptions due to the numerous messages left by the late Dr. Lauren Franke are too frequent and repetitive, and having to wait and read them while they are displayed slowly in typewriter style hinders the flow of the story.”
“Furthermore, most of those messages don't add much to the story or help you in any way.”
“The only problem I had with the storyline was when I got to the last couple of levels of the game.”
